Hades |Lesbian Version| by Svetaivanova

| A Wattpad Featured Story | Hades was well-cast to rule over the land of the dead. But what if Hades, the fearsome monarch of the Underworld was, in fact, a goddess? Everyone called her, 'Lord of the Dead' out of mockery since she prefers the company of women. She was considered an isolated and violent immortal, who loathed change and was easily given to a slow black rage like no others. But then everything changed when the dark goddess met the daughter of Demeter, Persephone. Now the tale of Hades and Persephone will be retold with a sprinkle of twists and turns. |LGBT content.

Flowers and Shadows by waverleys24

Hades and Persephone is a story that has so many different sides to it. Some people romanticize their relationship (often without taking into account certain aspects of the myth) while others insist that Hades was nothing but perverse and awful... even though taking Persephone, after having her father's permission, was quite normal for the time! This is a retelling of the ancient myth, with all the ancient components to it. I researched the story from many different sources and tried to make it as accurate as possible. The only writer's license was the amount of time she spent in the Underworld before Hermes came-- I never found an exact number, so I wrote it as six months, partly so that they had time to truly fall for each other, partly so that she would return to the mortal realm immediately after being returned to Demeter. Persephone is a character who understands the place goddesses and women have in the world, understands the normalcy of her capture, but still struggles with feeling like it's unjust. Hades is a god with few romantic relationships in his past (Leuce and Minthe) who hadn't fallen for anyone for a while and wasn't quite sure how to treat a goddess in a realm he never visited. This is the story.

The Queen Below by bitysmith

A retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, a story of fate, the struggle for power, and love found in the most unexpected places. ***** Persephone has been raised in Olympus all her life - her mother absent, her father a cruel king, with her siblings teaching her all they know. She has seen all of what the gods and goddesses do and she is sick of it. When she learns her safety is threatened by staying in Olympus, she flees to the Underworld. There she stays until she learns that her leaving has caused the world to wilt. But leaving behind her newfound friends and Lady of the Underworld is something she will not do willingly, no matter the consequences.

King's Queen ✔ by AmandeepKaur654

★Featured in Official Wattpad Myths and Legends profile; The Olympians: Greek Mythology★ ★Featured in Official Wattpad Romance profile; New Adult Romance★ ★Featured in Official Wattpad StoriesUndiscovered profile; Garnet★ ★Featured in Official Wattpad Finding Love profile; Romance★ His hands settled at her waist, drew her in closer, fitting softness to strength. "I'll always protect you-" he rested his forehead leaning against hers. "No matter what comes our way." Persephone is the goddess of spring. Hades is the god of the dead; he's dark, mysterious and sinfully attractive. When Persephone is pursued by Hades she wants to stay in the comforts of her garden, but also deeply desires to explore the searing tension between them. Our beautiful maiden seems to be more interested in; where his heated touch will explore next, when his skillful mouth will sweep her off her feet, and when his wicked crimson gaze will make her fall in love with him.

I Am Persephone by imamessplshelp

When Kore accidentally takes the life of a rabbit, she knows what her mother's reaction will be: taking away the little freedom she has. So she does what any girl would do. She asks the dreaded king of the Underworld to let her bring it back. A short retelling of Hades and Persephone.

The Tale of Hades & Persephone by kkluvz2write

This is a rewrite of my previous fan fiction "Tales of Hades and Persephone" as well as some inspiration from the original myth (and perhaps other retellings I enjoy). Hades has been alone for far too long. One day he pays a visit to Zeus and requests to marry Persephone. The King of the Gods agrees and even recommends Hades kidnap Persephone, since it's unlikely Demeter will agree to the marriage. Persephone is a young Goddess of Earth curious about the world of the mortals. She's always helping her mother Demeter, but one day while watching the mortals she wanders off only to fun into a handsome stranger. After a brief conversation, Persephone finds herself swept away to the Underworld. Will Hades manage to get Persephone to fall in love with him? What will Demeter do when she discovers her daughter is missing and it's all Zeus' fault? Will the mortals be able to survive the wrath of the Gods?

The Colour Of Pomegranates by Sascharyan

Young Persephone, the curious goddess of Spring, finds her way down to the Underworld where a powerful god waits for her. Hades isn't at all what her mother liked her to believe. Set in an anonymous time, this is the story of the Queen of the Underworld.

As The Last Peddle Falls by CometShards

Olympus was always ruled by the three brothers who happened to be gods. Zues, Poseidon, and Hades. These three were always obeyed but hated. Whatever and whomever they wanted, they would grab except for Hades who just wanted to be left alone. Demeter, mother of the godess of spring known as Kore Persephone had hidden Persephone down in the mortal realm from the three brothers. As Persephone grows older, she becomes more and more curious of Olympus and where she belongs. One day, things take a turn for the worst putting her in a bad position. Would she be able to fight a destiny set for her by another or would she let the darkness take her for good?

Aidoneus by GreyGoose719

The fates have a way of weaving chaos into destiny. No one knows this better than Kore. Before her birth the fates had prophesized her ability to overthrow Olympus. Desperate to protect her child, Kore's mother sends her to Sparta to be raised in secret. Safe from the Olympians and the King of the Heavens, Zeus. Kore manages to keep her immortal powers a secret until a series of events cause her to lose control. Her slip catches the attention of Zeus who sends Kore to the Underworld until he can figure out who she is and what she is capable of. While Hades, King of the Underworld, is reluctant to shelter the mystery goddess he soon discovers that what is a curse to his Brother Zeus is a blessing for himself and the underworld. However, time is working against them. Can he convince Kore to leave behind everything she knows to join him in the Underworld before Zeus discovers her secret? A retelling of Hades and Persephone- Note some of the characters do not follow the traditional myth but the story still occurs in the same time period.
